More Comics Gossip

Tom Spurgeon sez:

Heroes Con Opens With Whispered Rumors...

... of a major shake-up at DC Comics. I have no idea if they're true; I've been at the gym and I forgot my phone. I just spoke to DC public point man and recently much maligned editorial sword point Dan Didio at about 8:00 AM ET on his way back into the Westin from a jog, but it's not like I asked that kind of question. That would be rude, even for me. He's on a panel of mine today in two and a half hours, so I guess we'll know more by then. Or not. I don't know. I would suspect since most folks are in Charlotte, the best place to keep updated is here or here.

I guess there's a chance there could be another story a-brewin' and people just naturally assume that it's a DC Comics story and so that rumor heats up, too. Rumors! If they worked according to logic, they'd be news.

Turns out that the news was that John Nee, the Senior VP of Business Development at DC, has resigned, and not Dan DiDio getting the chop. Shall we start a Death Watch for Dan now? Nee's departure may have implications for the Wildstorm imprint as well as the CMX manga line, which were under his watch.
